*** Troubleshooting Q&A ***
Before reporting any problems to Winamp Support, please check for your
problem here first and try any potential solutions.
------------------------------------------------------
Problem: I can't figure out how to decode to .WAV file!
Diagnosis: You didn't look good enough :)
Solution: Go to Preferences/Audio IO,
and select 'Nullsoft Disk Writer' plug-in.
Hit configure, and specify the .WAV output directory!
------------------------------------------------------
Problem: Output skips or jerks when scrolling windows in other
applications.
Diagnosis: Videocard is stealing bus bandwidth from soundcard.
Solution: Read http://www.winamp.com/docs/vgakills.txt
------------------------------------------------------
Problem: MP3 output crashes NT4SP3 with a nice Blue Screen of
Death regularly (it is likely you are using a
Creative Labs card).
Diagnosis: Buggy soundcard driver
Solution: Disable 'seperate buffering thread' in
Preferences/Audio IO/Nullsoft WaveOut/<configure>. If
this doesn't help, try different (older and newer)
soundcard drivers.
------------------------------------------------------
Problem: MP3 output skips (on a slower machine)
Diagnosis: Machine is too slow for default output modes
Solution: Most of the time you can get acceptable output
by adjusting priorities of the input/output plug-ins in
Preferences/Audio IO. Otherwise, go to
Preferences/Audio IO/Nitrane MPEG and try:
* Unchecking the 'stereo output' checkbox.
* Putting the decoder mode on 486 or another setting.
* Turning half or quarter downsampling on.
